SEEKING:
Ellie Vanderlyn:
(late 40s) Self-absorbed wealthy society matron. She is attractive, ambitious, generous when it suits her purposes, used to getting whatever she likes.
Nelson Vanderlyn:
(50-60) Successful banker, he has endured 20 years of marriage to Ellie. And somehow, despite her mistreatment, remains steadfastly in love with her.
Susy Branch:
(20s) Susy is bright, pretty and practical. Effortlessly elegant, graceful, charming, witty, fun. She has a natural intelligence and enthusiasm. Though born into society, her father’s gambling habit and untimely death, left her dependent on her wealthy friends.
Dance experience a plus.
Winthrop “Streffy” Strefford:
(40-50) Fourth in line to inherit a title and large fortune in England. In the meantime, he is a career freeloader. Though gossipy and a bit mean, he is fun to have around and can be a good friend.
Nick Lansing:
(25-30s) A scholar of classical archeology who dreams of writing historical novels, Nick is romantic and passionate, well-traveled, curious. He appreciates beauty and the finer
things, but has an old fashioned moral strength.

Coral Hicks / Ursula Gillow / Maid:
Role is CAST. Actors auditioning will be considered for understudies and/or replacements if needed. One actor to play the following: Coral: (20s) Frowsy over-educated heiress. Her parents own a Midwestern department store chain. She is serious, overly intellectual but socially inept and awkward. She knows everything in books and nothing about human interaction. Ursula: (late 40s) A vain society matron. Maid.
The Cabaret Singer:
This is a guest starring part with a one-song walk-on and a few lines, requiring minimal preparation. Ideally, each performance would boast a different ‘name’ performer in this role. The Cabaret Singer will be played by a series of singers throughout the run.
